Ryoko – I'm back now! There's nothing left to say~! Let's just begin the finale~!
Nagihiko sat on his couch playing video games when he heard a shrill scream followed by crying. It was his sister Nadeshiko.
"Nadeshiko! What's wrong?" Nagihiko asked running down the stairs to the living room, where Nadeshiko was standing – well, more like crouched in a corner bawling her eyes out.
"Waaaahh, waaaahh!" Nadeshiko cried.
"Nade," Nagihiko said calmly. "What are you holding there?"
"A l-l-letter that K-k-kusuk-k-kusu delivered for R-r-Rima…" Nadeshiko choked.
"Here, give it to me," Nagihiko said.
"Here…" Nadeshiko sniffed.
'Dear Nagihiko & Nadeshiko Fujisaki,
I'm sorry… too sorry for words.
I was offered a job. You must be happy for me.
Right? Well, I'm not happy. Here's the problem.
The job's in America, and I'm in a contract which,
My parents agreed too. You shouldn't worry too much,
Ryoko Saruwatari is my manager, but she's bawling her eyes out.
If you think there is someone to blame, you should blame…
Kitakyushu Kiraa, my assistant manager.
~Your best friend/girlfriend,
Mashiro Rima'
"Rima…left?" Nagihiko asked shocked.
"I think so," Nadeshiko sniffed.
"No…way…." Nagihiko muttered as he dashed out the door towards the Mashiro Mansion.
-That Night in America-
Rima and Ryoko stood out on a balcony. Rima looked out at the empty night sky, which only had a full moon to light it. Ryoko's hair glimmered in the moonlight, and the sighed, strumming on her mini harp sadly. Rima started singing softly to the tune of the music, and soon Ryoko joined in.
Where are the changing seasons always going, so quickly?
The wind gently raps on my window, calling for a journey to a place far away
I'll just be away a little while, don't cry
Let's pinkie-swear, we'll meet again
Even if, one by one, the flower petals are falling
I gaze upon the memory of our parting
Our meeting was one of farewell, and the people surround us, but
The time I spent with you is a treasure to me.
I'll never forget it.
Just when did we grow up into adults? You and I are changing.
Right now, I want to know more, about this and that, and about falling in love
I always wished that I would stay this way, but
I'm going to start looking for myself
How many things do I love? The object of it all doesn't matter,
I want to have an honest heart.
I hope that no matter who I am, I can keep it inside me.
One day I'll find them : my wavering feelings.
One by one, the flower petals all differ in shape and size, but
If everyone gathers them and puts them together, they become one dream
And one day, the flower's beauty will change as well
If I turn around and smell it, it will still smell sweet
I'm always waiting here, we'll meet again right here.
"I can't believe I said bye that way…" Rima whispered.
Ryoko – LOOK OUT FOR THE SEQUEL! IT'LL BE CALLED 'BITTERSWEET MEMORIES'! Bye for now~!
Rima – Sorry for the short chapter!
